It’s Friday and the 81st anniversary of D-Day. Eid Mubarak! Birthdays: Diego Velázquez, Alexander Pushkin, Thomas Mann, Marian Wright Edelman. Our community project for today is Signature Friday...wear a fragrance that was your signature in the past, or that you could live with as a signature now, or that you'd like people to remember you by? Thanks go to madtowngirl and chocolatemarzipan8 for the idea!
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I'm in Diorissimo (surprise, surprise).
Reminder: on 6/13, wear an incense fragrance, if you have one. (This is a repeat; suggested by ringthing.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2025, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

I’ve never really had a signature scent because I always had more than one (and, as time went by, more and more). Probably the closest I ever came was when I discovered Parfum d’Hermès in 1985 and was immediately obsessed with it: I bought the extrait and didn’t really want to smell anything else for quite a while, so that’s what I’m wearing today. I still think it’s one of the greatest fragrances ever created.
I’ve never smelled that one, do they still make it?
It’s complicated! First they retooled it into Hermès Rouge and discontinued the original, and then they relaunched Parfum d’Hermès in the house bottle, and then they eventually discontinued it again. You can still get Rouge Hermès from them if you want an inkling of it (but really it isn’t the same, especially not after multiple reformulations), and you can sometimes find the original online (they must have made a lot of it). Worth it, I’d say, but I’m really biased — I think it’s a flat-out masterpiece.
Oh wow, yes, complicated. Seems like many of the masterpieces get discontinued.☹️
You smell marvelous, pyramus. The Hermes Rouge reminds me a lot of Chamade. Some shared DNA there, methinks.
They do have a lot in common! Hyacinth and galbanum in the top, rose as the backbone of the scent. I put PdH on this morning and was startled to discover that the rose really leapt out at me — it usually doesn’t, but the nose is a changeable thing, isn’t it?
Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil is the closest I have to a signature scent, so of course I am wearing it today.
That’s a good one!
Oh, perfect!
Nice. I can see wearing that daily.
We are twins, Glannys.
Hope all is well with you. As much as it can be.
So lovely for this time of year, that green mango, that incense.
I heard about the latest round of attacks and hope you stay safe. 🙏
Thinking of you, Glannys. And you smell great.
Relieved to hear from you today Glannys. I’d heard about what happened to Kyiv last night. Stay safe.
I’m in vintage Obsession, of course. Just a couple of dabs because it’s pretty humid today. Back in the day I wore this year round regardless of the weather. I don’t wear it so much anymore because: too much perfume, but it’s definitely the one that my h and college bestie know me by. My first big girl signature scent was Lauren in the burgundy bottle during middle and early high school. I haven’t smelled that one in years, I should really order a sample from STC. After Obsession came Casmir and after that I gave up perfume for several years while the kids were little. I reentered the world of perfume in 2014 after an acute illness with Calvin Klein’s Reveal. Then I discovered this blog and it’s been all downhill from there. Lol. I’ve discovered so many new perfumes thanks to you all.🥰
Apparently it is also national donut day. I got an email from kwik trip last evening (Wisconsin’s version of buc-ees) letting me know I can get a free long john today. I was reading the email to my daughter after dinner last night and she asked me what a long john was. I showed her the picture of the one in the email, “oh god, those suck! No wonder they’re giving them away!” 🤣 I literally laughed out loud. The girl has very strong opinions on what constitutes a good donut.
A good friend of mine wore Obsession, and it suited her so well. You smell amazing! And I wish I had a red bottle of Lauren-it was gorgeous, too.
Vintage Obsession was just spectacular: I couldn’t get enough of it back in the day. When the bath line came out they did a sampler box with wee containers of everything — talc, shower gel, soap, body cream, parfum, and more besides. I still have a tiny amount of the parfum and was considering wearing it today. You smell fantastic!
You smell wonderful! Love vintage Obsession.
Long John’s with custard filling is my absolute favorite donut. Lol.
Didn’t suspect the existence of long Johns, googled and they look rather tasty.
They are very tasty!
I went through a few bottles of Obsession back in the day and I’m sure I was guilty of overspraying. I love the little kidney bottles of parfum now — so smoky incensey and exotic – but one dab’ll do ya.
🤣🤣🤣! Long johns were some of my Dad’s favorites. Thanks for the smile and the trip down memory lane.
Je Reviens today – bringing me way back to high school days in the late 70s and then on through the 80s. If anything was my signature, this one was. I still think it’s beautiful. I did also wear Ciara, Inoui, and Obsession (waves to madtowngirl) off and on. During the 90s, I often wore just a drop of Tresor and only the parfum version, because I couldn’t find Je Reviens. That was my introduction to the cold hard world of discontinuations, designer houses closing, etc.
The heartache began early for you alas
This comment is everything!
springpansy, Je Reviens has a very special place in my heart because it was my mom’s signature scent. I still remember her wearing it about 40 years ago. It’s so elegant and I loved the cobalt bottles. I did buy the current EDP and parfum-I bought it from fragrance net, and I was pleased with its current formulation. Just a thought, in case you need a fix 🙂
😀 Yes, I loved those little cobalt bottles. My parents used to give me the parfum every year at Christmas.
You smell delightful and I don’t know about the US but in the UK Je Reviens is plentiful and affordable, vintage and modern.
Thanks, everyone. I did eventually find some vintage Je Reviens but the initial heartbreak was pre-internet (or at least before I was using it) and I didn’t even know how to look for it at the time. Some friends of ours visited Paris in the late 80s or very early 90s and reported that the House of Worth had actually closed many years earlier. Later a revised version of JR became available but just didn’t smell right to me. The current one may be just fine as I haven’t tried it for many years.
My search for Je Reviens was actually the reason I found Makeupalley back in the early 2000s and then fell all the way down the fragrance rabbit hole. I’m all set now; I have more to love than I could have ever thought possible!
Add me to the list of Je Reviens lovers and long-time wearers, I forgot about this one when thinking about today’s cp. It all started when my m-i-l gave me a tiny blue bottle of the perfume years and years ago she bought on a cruise somewhere (I still have it) and I now also have it in various forms, including some vintage.
You smell wonderful. Je Reviens is one of my earliest scent memories and one of the perfumes that I could wear anytime, anywhere.
Evilbay and other online shopping sites have really brought the past back to us in a way we couldn’t have imagined decades ago and allowed us to re-embrace our youthful perfume loves. While there are many things about online resale shopping that I dislike, I love being able to replace items – including clothes – that I grew attached to. I have been re-buying a certain pair of Donna Karan DK black jeans from the 90s for years online, usually new and sometimes with tags. They just fit me well the way many jeans today don’t.
Oh and I had a great time at the Mariners game yesterday, even though they lost. Nothing better on a gorgeous not-too-hot, not-too-cool afternoon. We took the bus which was great on the way there and not so great on the way home during rush hour (slow and packed) but we made it.
@Lesliesse – Yes, the Mariners park IS beautiful! I don’t have any rituals around games. I’m sorry to say that this is the first game I’ve been to in many years, but now I want to remedy that for sure! I enjoyed your reminiscence about games with your dad.
Glad to hear you had fun at the game, it sounded perfect! I too had a great time at the Giants game I went to a few weeks ago and vow to go to more baseball games soon.
Yay!
Glad you had a good time at the game yesterday! Your area is one I’ e never even to but really want to visit, and I’d love to go to that ballpark and see a game.
C’mon out!
Glad you enjoyed your game last night, and had perfect weather to boot!
Thanks!
Well that makes me quite happy springpansy! Nothing like a good ritual to increase our savoring a happy memory or make something ordinary elevate to memorable! I believe our deceased loved ones live on in our reminisces. Dad would be utterly delighted to hear you went to attend more games! Let me know if you do and what your new rituals are you create!
❤️
Today I’m in the last real “signature” scent I had, which is Armani Acqua di Gio from the ’90s. This is the one I wore at my wedding (though it probably didn’t last that long in the heat and humidity) and for years after, until I went down the rabbit hole. We’re celebrating a round year anniversary this year, which reminds me how long ago that’s been, though my bottle is probably only 25 years old and still has a little bit in it.
This was my lightweight ’90s u-turn from my signature scents before that, from Liz Claiborne (in the red triangle bottle) and Benetton Colors in high school to Poison and Jil Sander No. 4 in college. And after going down the rabbit hole, I’d say the closest I have to a signature would be LADDM and 31, rue Cambon. I have a vat of the latter that will get me through to the end of time. (Now, of course, I think even a small bottle costs what the vat cost when I got it.)
I remember Liz Claiborne and Benetton Colors! I’d love to smell them today, I’m sure they’d take me right back in time.☺️
Yeah, me too! I can’t remember off the top of my head what they smell like, but I’m sure if I smelled them it’d take me back.
I used to wear Aqua di Giò, I think I may have used up two bottles. Nice scent, but not in anyway a signature for me.
The one I have that has a tiny bit left is my second bottle. And now I can’t remember the last time I used up a FB. 🙂
You smell great, Acqua di Gio is a perfect summer scent, I have a small 30ml bottle and I wear it at least once every summer.
SOTD is Guerlain Mitsouko, my signature scent for many years. Today it’s the EDT, I otherwise prefer the EDP or the perfume. Unfortunatly Guerlain doesn’t seem to make the perfume anymore.
Mitsouko is wonderful, especially if it is vintage but the current edp is pretty good.
That’s a great one Eva!
I’m always intimidated by the lovely Mitsouko but have a vintage 30ml extrait.
Beautiful!
Mitsouko is wonderful, if a bit temperamental for me.
Wearing Muguet “Acte I” by Nicolai, in honour of the Dioressimo I would faithfully wear in the spring.
Is that last years version?
2025!
The same one I have. Isn’t it just lovely (even if it can’t replace vintage Diorissimo).
Nice 🙂
This is going back to my high school days where Clinique just released Happy and Bath and Body Works released their 1st smash hit of Cucumber Melon. Both were my 2 signatures for a few years and a lesser degree Estee Lauder Pleasures. But I chose Happy today for the CP. The closest signatures that I have now is Lyric woman and no 5 right now.
I thought you might wear one and it is a goody. It is an easy scent to wear.
Sigh, sniffing Cucumber Melon now would bring back so many memories I’m sure! That scent really put BBW on the map.
My high school memories all smell like BBW Sun Ripened Raspberry!
Karma.
My boss texted me about wanting to talk perfumes. If I get to help out shop curate the fragrances, what would NST want?
everything! absolutely everything!
karma karma karma!! love it!!
So exciting!!
Yay! Exciting!
Pansy/Olive Branch. you introduced me to that one and I love it! I also think the Bridgerton perfume is quite nice — they brought it back as non-Bridgerton scent yes?
MORE SMALL SIZES…10 ml travel sprays would be so wonderful.
PS, tell them the youngs are doing fragrance wardrobes! Tiktok!It is a different world and young people want small sizes too.
I want that chocolate-orange shower gel (or whatever formulation it was) that Lush recently had but only in their subscription service.
Oooh, that sounds fantastic!
The original Potion body lotion, but in a perfume!
ITA with Robin: 100mL is Too. D@mn. Big! for any perfume. 30mLis better, and 10 – 15 mL travel sprays are the best!
Many thanks to LUSH for bringing back the Flying Fox showergel! It’s my favorite, even above Rose Jam and Good Karma.
I’m in Scherrer edt today for running errands. I could definitely live with this as a signature!
You smell elegant.
I’m loving the posts about signature scents from the past-I know and love many of the scents mentioned so far. I’m in Samsara, and I used the shower gel, body cream, and parfum. I was given the beautiful Meteorites compact, lipstick holder and perfume holder. I still cherish these things. Guerlain stopped making the lipstick refills decades ago but other company’s refills fit beautifully-like the Hermes lipsticks, and the new Pradas, and I can convince myself I’m a smart shopper cause I’m using the same lipstick holder that I sued in 1990 lol. I am not a smart shopper 🙂
Wow! Samsara had a showergel and a body cream?!? I missed out!
The closest I get to signature scent would be Paco Rabanne Metal, my first ever perfume that I wore for years and then afterwards Eternity.
I am wearing Metal today and it still smells timeless and amazing to me.
One of those unicorns I never did manage to smell!
If I had to have a signature scent it would be the one I am wearing today. FM Iris Poudre. I’m sure no one is surprised by this.
And an excellent choice for a signature scent (if you *had* to choose).
LOL! You do love your iris, even if a certain Shalimar flanker turned your head for a bit. 😉
Oh, I still like that one but get the most compliments from Iris Poudre.
That is a fabulous signature!
Gosh, I have had so many signature fragrances over the years. The best new is I no longer spray them like I did when I was younger.
I reached into the vault for the first Comme de Garcons edp today.
I bought this bottle in Boston at a boutique on Newberry Street the weekend of Princess Dianas’ funeral. The organization I was working for at the time wanted me to move there and I had four days to look at homes/apartments. I laid across my bed at the hotel and watched her funeral. Then I flew back to Los Angeles and told them no thank you.
The fragrance is still beautiful, I have about 1/5 left.
That was my first niche purchase and I need another bottle.
Hello and tgif!
Sotd is my signature Youth Dew. I have worn it constantly ever since I started out wearing perfumes and it’s a long love affair. In fact, I have been wearing it daily for years, in the form of deodorant (YD deo works amazingly and of course, smells fab. Highly recommend).
Youth Dew is so iconic, I favor a light application of the bath oil, thank you for the tip about the deodorant I use EA Blue Grass deodorant for a similar reason.
That one brings back memories! It was the signature of a friend’s mom. She just called it “Estee Lauder,” since it was Lauder’s only perfume at the time.
Not wearing a signature, but still a favourite, Eau de Guerlain. To me it’s the best cologne I have ever tried.
If I think of signature perfumes, Paris YSL and Anaïs Anaïs come to mind. I wore a lot of Trésor, Roma, Dune and Nina (1987) for a long time and still have bottles of all of them. Out of my golden oldies, Paris is the clear winner, I just adore it.
That’s a nice list of former signature scents.
It’s been so long since I’ve had anything close to a signature, some from my youth are: Lauren, Calyx, Safari, and No 5. Oh yes, and I once had a miniature of Benetton Colors that I treasure with all my middle school heart! Today I chose to wear Bois des Iles because when I wear it I ask myself, why don’t you wear this everyday? Well, we know why, but still! 😂
Calyx was amazing back in the day.
Lubin Grisette! I don’t wear it enough because I have so many other things to wear and sample, but it will forever have my heart. Even today, I’ve got a spritz of Grisette in my hair because for some dumb reason, on the hottest day of the year so far, I really want to compare my samples of Dusita’s Montri and Oudh Inifniti on my wrists. They are a lot in this heat!
Tea today is black and green tea with rose petals, from an unfamiliar brand. I’d prefer it without the green tea leaves; they are overwhelming the rose.
I recently found the wee sample of Grisette that you sent me a couple (maybe more?) years ago. It’s now on my dresser, waiting for its turn in the proverbial spotlight.
You have to try it. It is very nice.
I am the Johnny Appleseed of Grisette! Gotta protect it from being discontinued 😂
Grisette is so pretty.
Oudh Infiniti is one of the wildest fragrances I’ve ever laid my nose on. It’s so well made but definitely intense.
It’s very much a “I can appreciate that this is very well made but I will never wear it” perfume for me. My respect to those who do wear it.
I am on vacation so I have limited scents with me. None of my “signature” scents made the trip–Jean Nate, L’Heure Bleue, Tatiana, Casmir, Lou Lou, L’Air du Temps, Jaipur–so I am winging it in what I would like to be remembered wearing. Many of my scents have a musk or a woody note at the base, so I think people might remember that. Today I am wearing Zoologist Beaver, Maple Edition.
I hope you’re having a good holiday and taking it easy.
Frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and red currants in a pot of low fat plain yogurt instead of a smoothie and it’s really yummy.
Wow, everyone smells super good today in those past signature scents, for the CP a double whammy, Anaïs Anaïs, my first perfume when I was fifteen and I still wear it with immense pleasure, I went for the more vanillic EDP today, the original EDT was my signature and tonight l’Heure Bleue, my second perfume, I’m wearing it in Parfum de toilette version but I also have 30ml vintage extrait and modern extrait and vintage EDT and modern EDT… all iterations practically. The vintage is more floral and haunting and the modern fluffy and gourmand.
I loved Anais Anais as a young teen. Never had enough cash to splash out for a bottle, though.
Same here, it was a gift from one of my aunts.
My mom used to wear Anais Anais. It is so great!
It’s still a very lovely scent, nothing smells quite like it, I recommend having the 30ml EDP as well as the OG edt.
I’m down in NZ’s southern most city so sunrise is 8.30am. Yesterday we drove through rainy sleet and it was cold. Today it’s clearer but colder, sub zero at the moment ( and dark, still). There’s a beautiful estuary here with a nice loop track, and also terrific botanic gardens as well as op shops so it should be a nice day. I’m wearing Orpheon in the solid form, which doesn’t have much projection but is good. Hope I find some treasure today….first stop the recycling centre at the landfill.
Hope you found something fantastic Kanuka!
Cabochard is the closest I have to a signature scent, I wore it whenever I was going out partying in the 1990s.
I didn’t pick it because I had awesome taste in perfume, my then mother-in-law gave me a partial bottle (she worked in the cosmetics department in a department store) and I liked it because it was different to other things I’d smelt.
Love Cabochard! Discovered it at 15, intended to wear it “when I grew up,” and by then it had disappeared from the stores in my area.
I only ever came close to having a signature scent with Hiram Green’s orange blossom / orange grove scent, Dilettante which was released few years ago and then promptly discontinued. I got its supposed replacement, Tryst, recently and it first I was disappointed that it was a somewhat different scent, and I was all frustrated how it came close to the original without hit the same spot. Now I have begun to like it more and I often just wear them together for a panoramic olfactory view. There is something about orange blossom and honey notes that really melds beautifully with my skin.
That’s frustrating for sure, to find a true love and it is discontinued so quickly. I can’t remember the story of why he did it, but it’s a shame.
I started wearing fragrance as a young teen and never had a signature scent per se but, based upon what was available at the time (not that much compared to now) and what I could afford, have been a serial perfume monogamist in the past. Scents I wore a lot and still wear to this day (and some in vintage form) include HR Heaven Sent, Houbigant Chantilly, Coty L’Aimant, NR Bigarade. Wish I still had Dana Ambush; I loved that one!
The one I chose for today’s cp is another one I’ve loved and worn for many years – and it was a favorite of my mom’s – is EA Blue Grass. As is common with many of these older scents (Blue Grass 1934), it’s a wonderful combination of aldehydes, a bit of citrus, white florals + lavender, on a warm woody base with a dash of spice. I’ve read that Elizabeth Arden loved nature and flowers and that she was inspired to name this fragrance after the green, grassy fields she viewed from the windows of her Virginia home. I 💚 that image!
No plans for the entire weekend, hoping for some peaceful immersive gardening time, which is dependent upon the extended Air Quality Alert from the Canadian wildfires and the threat of rain on Sunday, which could include some of Jalapeño’s hail. 🤞
Happy weekend to all!💚🌿🌱🌳
Adding Worth Je Reviens to my list of long-time and still current loves. I totally forgot about it until I saw springpansy’s post!
I hope you get the gentle late Spring rains that I had last night, instead of that dratted hail from earlier in the week!
Passage d’Enfer. My husband picked it out for me because it smelled like “me,” and it really works. Appropriate for any weather or occasion, and it’s both comforting and confidence-building–most perfumes seem to be just one or the other to me.
I’m curious about the new extreme version but I’m guessing they added more/too much wood.
I didn’t like it as much at first, but the sample grew on me, and I now have a bottle for special occasions. However, they did add more wood. I think the EDT is more cedary, and the Extreme more sandalwoody. Also, more vanilla and jasmine have been added.
Thank you for the review. I’m glad it grew on you and you’re enjoying it now. I definitely want to try it😊
Fun to read everyone’s comments!
Perfumes I have worn a lot in the past include Coco (my closest to signature), Chanel No 19, (I always have these 2 in my collection), Pleasures, Norell and Arpege. I went a different direction today, to what could become a signature scent: those contenders are Narciso White Cube and Bapteme du Feu, so I’m wearing Bapteme du Feu today. It’s so gorgeous!
Love your choices, ringthing! Coco, Norell, and White Cube are all big loves for me. And BdF was a wonderful surprise.
I’d be happy to be remembered by smelling of orange blossoms, as close to the scent of smelling the blossoms on the tree as possible. Most ob perfumes tend to pair the note with white musk or lean into sweet, candied orange. But I prefer a sharp, indolic, warmer perfume to satisfy my platonic ideal of orange blossom. Hiram Green Dilettante is one of my favorites for this, but today I’m in another favorite that I haven’t worn in a while, Ava Luxe Neroli Blossom.
I was astonished the first time I smelled orange blossoms “for real”. I couldn’t believe how indolic they were!
Totally agree!
Much love for Ava Luxe!
I still have and love a number of her perfumes.
Joining this wonderfully-scent crown in Estee Lauder Estee, edp. It is my desert island scent, although I can’t say it is my signature. I had a great visit with my sister and BIL, who are on a long road trip from Utah to Cooperstown, NY! Beyond some hilarious, shared recollections, another lingering pleasure of a sister visit was the clean and tidy house I pulled off for their visit! We are talking down to cleaning the OVEN, people (though we ate out!). And, in other news, I am going to meet some kittens tomorrow! Will keep you posted.
A clean oven and a kitty meet! Life sounds pretty good at Chez Mossy!
You know it! 🙂
Wow, Utah to Cooperstown is a DRIVE!!
Do keep us posted about those kittens! 😻😻😻
Mr. Mossy and I were certainly impressed with that drive. Will do re: kittens; here’s hope we get that love match.
Good news all round, hope you fall in love with a kitten.
Thanks, Aurora! We are taking the cat carrier…
Gorgeous flowers today Robin!
Remembering D-Day and those who gave so much, on this “longest day”. Not just Americans, but Canadians and British soldiers as well.
SOTD = very vintage Ivoire de Balmain EdT, back when J.C. Penney sold stuff like that. My bottle is also pressurized and is pre bar code. Still smells wonderful. It was my “special occasion” perfume back when I got it, which is why I still have half of it left.
That’s so cool you still have your bottle. I’ve never tried anything by Balmain. I don’t think it was sold around here.
Very happy that bottle is still with me!
TBH I have never heard of it, but I am sure you smell great!
Thanks! My SOTD is a more floral cousin to Wrappings, IMO. So it’s on the green side.
Oh, I’ll bet you smell wonderful! I have and enjoy Ivoire, but it’s just the current version. The Balmain’s all smell good on me, I also have and enjoy Jolie Madame, Miss Balmain, and my favorite, Vent Vert. But they are all fairly current versions, I can only imagine what the vintage ones smell like.
Balmain was hard to find for me back in the day. Now it’s seemingly impossible. Never saw the new version of Ivoire.
Excellent choice, OG Ivoire is so elegant. The current but I think already discontinued Ivoire is often compared to the OG pink Dove soap, souvenirs, souvenirs.
The OG Ivoire was love at first sniff for me. Well worth the trip across the Denver metro area and thru all that traffic.
SOTD = Chanel No.19 EDP
What else? My favorite of favorites! The modern one is just fine!
So, not sure how many people will see this question … do you tend to specify the concentration of the perfume or do you just let the interwebs decide as to who thinks what when? I do try to list which formulation it is, although I do fail sometimes. For the most part, I do wear the EDP. How about you?
If it comes to something that is available in more than one concentration/formulation, I tend to list what it is. Example: Samsara.
I do the same as Jalapeno. I don’t always know the concentration if it’s from a decant though.
Oh yes, concentration matters to me.
I don’t always remember, but like you it’s usually the edp.
Same as Jalapeno – if there are multiple versions with the same name, I try to remember to ID the concentration.
I’m way too fickle to have a signature scent, but I do tend to rotate among a handful at bedtime and Theorema is certainly right up there among my choices.
I’m loving the sprays down memory lane with so many classic scents and nodding at all those that I wore too. And I will add Tatiana.
I started out as a kid with my French mother’s French perfumes, Chanels and YSLs and Rochas and such, but in my 20s, when I always had a handful of bottles on my dresser, Anais Anais was right up there and I admit I have fantasized about how smelling the fragrance on others or in the wild might haunt an old boyfriend I had who I rued breaking up with but then there was no turning back.
What I realized years later was that he probably wouldn’t smell it much if at all since as the years roflled on, new perfume trends took hold until very few people wore Anais Anais anymore, and then it was reformulated as “Anais Originale” so probably smelled different anyway.
So much for perfume haunting, LOL
Still, he might have run across it ONCE in the wild, right? So maybe your fantasy did come true.
I thought I already posted, but I guess I didn’t.
I chose to wear Jessica McClintock for the cp. It was a signature of mine for a few years in the mid to late 90’s. I was wearing a variety perfumes at the time, but this was my most consistently worn. It is also my most repurchased.
I don’t think I’ve ever smelled Jessica McClintock.
That was a good one though I never did purchase it. Not sure why.
I remember Jessica McClintock! The perfume matched their dresses so well. A very pretty LOTV.
You smell wonderful!
I love hearing everyone’s favorites🌸
I meant to wear Aedes de Venustas Signature because it was an early love. But we’re about to take off for the UK and I was distracted and grabbed Ormonde Woman instead.
I remember wearing L’Interdit, Molinard de Molinard, Chanel No. 5 and Miss Dior. I didn’t know anything about perfume but I knew I loved it!
Safe travels!
Thank you!
Have a fun and safe trip!
Thank you, just landed in Ireland and enjoying the beautiful accents😊
Have a great trip! And how could I forget Miss Dior was – and still is – another scent I’ve worn for many years.
So good! Isn’t it in a world of its own?
That’s where I live, have a wonderful time. Lovely spring here but worryingly dry which may be just the ticket for your stay.
Waving to you from Ireland and on my way to London. I’m a fan of rain in general and even when walking, I much prefer a few showers than too much heat🌧️
Well, springpansy reminded me that I wore Ciara and Trésor as signatures for brief periods each, but I don’t own any of either, nor of any other scents I wore during a few decades of serial monogamism (other than Jil Sander No. 4). Over this past week I spritzed Caleche, Escale a Portofino, Vol de Nuit EDT, and Memoirs of a Trespasser, all of which I love but none of which, it turns out, would really work for me as a daily wearer. So today I’m back in Eau d’Hadrien EDT, which I could definitely live with as a signature scent … if I had to. 🙂
I love escape a portofino too, SheriG, and if you had to live in Hadrien EDT-well, come sit by me for eternity lol. I love the EDT even more than the EDP. When I was younger the EDP won my heart. Funny how we change a bit over time.You smell great!
You need to give Ciara a sniff again. 😀 I just love it.
